Perk fake Celtics fan
Boston wins vs spurs in 7. Big Perk must do the Paul P run if he is wrong!
Perk!! What are you 🚬. The Spurs barely got playoffs experience. I got the Thunder going back to the Final against the Celtics
What makes SENSE never happens it’s prolly another injury to shake this up the league is scripted and winners come from Vegas and watch the Celtics drop early and the okc to get shaken
Perkins has always been a Celtic’s naysayer. He has a chip in his shoulder for some reason.
It’s gon be Pistons x Nuggets or Timberwolves
OKC and Boston and the Celtics are coming out champions again
Hornets vs spurs
Perkins is delusional if he thinks Spurs will make the Finals over OKC. Ain't happening.
OKC vs Boston , Celtics in 7
Can wemby handle full playoff minutes in a title run without injuries? If he can spurs could legit make the finals i just dont see them winning it. They need another piece imo but i wouldnt be surprised if they win it all
Watch my Knicks eliminate Boston
The spurs won't even make it that far lol
This is why perk is not loved or welcomed by Celtics nation
And Perkins wonders why the Celtics don't invite him to nothing or want him involved in anything.
" I got minnisota beating denver in the first round" -perkins ….. Bros tweaking
If Perk says Spurs v Boston, it'll be OKC v Detroit.
I just want to see Jokic vs Wemby in the playoffs . It'll be like Hokit vs Blaydes
Agreeing w Perk is my raigbait
Just when I’m starting to like Perk he say some dumb ish like this.
Someone get perk drug tested. Spurs have zero playoff experience
Anybody picking a team besides OKC to win it all is delusional or just knows nothing about the NBA. They have the best record in the NBA so they'll have homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs and they simply don't lose at home. They did that with TONS of injuries and load management all season. They are adding two key players Mitchell and McCain who will make them noticeably better than last year's championship team. That's just a REALLY dumb take by Perkins and that's saying something.
another year of perk not believing in the celtics 🥱 whats new
Okc winning it all
Spurs should have played wemby against nuggets so they could win and play against lakers or rockets second round.. now they will lose to nuggets. Once again okc gets easy route to finals
I see perk already on the bullshidd 😂😂
Perkins perkins
God she fine
Listen 👂 if it’s spurs and Celtics it’s gnna be a repeat of 2022 spurs are gnna look good but there inexperience and youth is going to crumble C’s in 5-6
So now I know for sure the spurs won’t win the title
Spurs vs Celtics. Spurs in 6. Wemby MVP.
Screen save it 😎
Spurs are going to regret not playing Wemby more to try to beat the nuggets on the last game of the season. Now they have the joker to contend with in the second round
Perkins is stupid, that's why he tried coaching and failed at that. He'll say something different next week, then a week after that. He's terrible.
Nah Beantown
Denver and Cleveland
Pistons vs Spurs
Wolves in 7 over Boston
Spurs not beating Denver.
This is pretty hilarious Celtics will be lucky to make it to ECF lol
